College Closed

29 Aug. The College and its various institutions, in keeping with the directive of the CBCI, closed down the college in silent and protest.

This is the only way an insignificant minority of our country can register their protest. Christians have been targetted time and again by fundamentalist forces. But neither politicians nor police have taken any action against the perpetrators of violence against them.

The security minorities experience in a country is the index and vibrancy of a democracy. In targetting the minorities, the perpetrators of violence threaten the very fabric of our country; they underestimate law in their hands, and dishonour the Constitution.

It is to draw attention to this painful fact that the Christians shut their institutions all over the country. By doing so, they have not jeopardised anybody’s life or property! That is the beauty of a Christian protest: silent and non-violent.
